- ↑ Will have Bayou motors some Cajuns culture?
Zapdude: "They're not Cajuns, they're a large and diverse group because their roots are in prospecting, merchant caravans, and mercenary work
They were established by a collection of pioneers who got together enough money to inhabit and developed a beached cannery ship on Marsh Island, which they expanded out of to turn it and the surrounding docks on the coast of Louisiana into repair yards
They primarily deal in collecting and selling scrap, repairing ships, collecting and rebuilding wrecked ships, hauling cargo, and selling canned meat and tobacco
Primarily fish, and local grown mutant tobacco on Marsh Island
There could be cajuns among them, but their origins and roots spread beyond Louisiana, stretching across the whole gulf
They're basically a merchant dynasty"
